Note. PANAS-X = Positive and Negative Affect Schedule–Expanded Form; FBT = focused breathing task; BTQ = Breathing Task Questionnaire; RQ = Reactions Questionnaire. Values come from individual hierarchical regression analyses in which demographic variables (age, education) and group-related contrast codes were previously entered as covariates. Ns range from 152 to 154 across analyses.
